2 mines left, and this is supposed to be No-guess.

However, it seems that there can be two answers to this -

(A) The top square of the top pair and the top square of the bottom pair, can both be mines.

(B) The bottom square of the top pair and the bottom square of the bottom pair, can both be mines.

But then this is not really guess free, is it ?

(Note - I did go with option (A), and it proved to be right. But my original question still stands).

What am I missing ?

    Unless I’m missing something…

    Tap for spoiler

    …I think column 3; row 6 holds the answer.

        I think you missed it because of the “highlight unsolved numbers” option, which greys out numbers that have all their mines even if the rest of the squares aren’t all open. I recommend you turn that off.

    The set I circled shows which square is safe, determining the mines for the other areas.

    You have a 4 with 4 marked landmines around it, but you didn’t click the 5th adjacent tile

    used to play that game 20+ years ago, idk if they made it guess-free now, but back then i would encounter this from time to time, at that that point it was about chances, in this case looks like 50/50

      Yeah they make guess-free versions now. It’s much more fun when you know that you’re too stupid to finish it and it’s not simply impossible! In a normal version OP would have probably guessed one at random fairly quickly, but here OP kept thinking “what am I missing?”.
